June 2015

[edit]

Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Frank Zappa  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 08:14, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Rolling Stones with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

The Beatles

[edit]

Just for the record, it is McCartney playing piano on this track, at least as documented on Revolution in the Head (1st revised edition) p. 307, and I dare say Mark Lewisohn's Sessions has it too. I don't know who put it in there, but I do know that people play "my album credit list is better than yours" on music articles all the time and it leaves me with a sore head :-/ Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:38, 11 June 2015 (UTC) I feel very honoured to be complimented by you due to the edit of Abbey Road. In fact I wanna enquire about the Beatles' instruments played, John Lennon and Paul McCartney contributed mostly keyboards including piano, organ and synthesizer on their own tracks. Therefore, should they be listed to keyboardists?[reply]

I improved Abbey Road to good article status so it's reasonable to assume I know more about the album than is healthy ;-) For the definitive list, Lewisohn and MacDonald's books are the best sources possible as they pick apart each instrument. When you read that in conjunction to listening to the amazingly painstakingly created multi-track tapes on The Beatles: Rock Band, it's about as close as you can get to actually being there in the studio. Anyway, I think I will need to go through and add specific citations for this lot, but very briefly most bass and piano is McCartney, most lead guitar is Harrison, drums are all Starr, synth is split equally between McCartney ("Maxwell"), Harrison ("Here Comes The Sun", "Because") and Lennon (white noise on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". All in all, a can of worms I'm afraid! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:45, 11 June 2015 (UTC) By the way, do you realize about the British group called the Bee Gees?[reply]

Recent edit to Multi-instrumentalist

I don't think canned template messages are particularly effective on newbies, however in this case you replaced a reliable citation to the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary that a multi-instrumentalist plays two instruments with your unsourced assertion that it is three. You need to ensure any content you add is cited to a high-quality source, and if a previous fact is sourced, the new source should be of better quality.
